How do you remove the steering column?

To remove the steering column, start by parking the vehicle with the wheels pointing straight ahead and disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Disable the airbag system and remove the steering wheel, ensuring the ignition key is turned to the LOCK position to prevent the steering shaft from turning. Remove the knee bolster and the reinforcement behind it, and if the vehicle has a tilt column, pull out the tilt lever. Proceed to remove the steering column shrouds and disconnect the electrical connectors for the steering column harness and body harness. Unscrew the screw securing the left heater duct and disconnect its temperature sensor before removing the duct. Remove the shaft coupler nut and the bolt securing the steering shaft to the upper intermediate shaft. Finally, remove the steering column mounting nuts, lower the column, and pull it to the rear, ensuring nothing is still connected. Separate the intermediate shaft from the steering shaft and remove the column. To install the steering column, guide it into position, connect the intermediate shaft, and install the mounting nuts without tightening them yet. Install the coupler bolt and nut, tightening the nut to the specified torque. Finally, tighten the column mounting nuts to the specified torque, and complete the installation by reversing the removal process.

Chevrolet Trailblazer Steering Column

The Steering Column is a primary part of the Chevrolet Trailblazer that links the steering wheel and the steering system so as to transfer steering angles and torques to the required levels for an effective response of the vehicle. Therefore, besides the main purpose of the steering column, it also has the following functions: The energy absorption one during accidents, the holder of several components, and the driver control one. The collapsible nature of the car steering column is another feature that improves on driver safety in that it is designed to absorb shock forces usually applied on the steering column during an accident while the contemporary aspects such as the steering locks are meant to deter theft. Being a federal regulation-compliant, a Trailblazer's steering column introduces optimal level of safety and efficiency for comfortable driving.

Each OEM Chevrolet Trailblazer Steering Column we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
